THIS WEEK’S NEWSPAPERS

The Freeman’s Journal • Hometown Oneonta

Aug. 13-14, 2020

Simple Integrity partner Jon Edgington surveys the 1810 threshing barn, now under renovation in the hamlet of Middlefield, which exemplifies an agricultural technique that dates back 2,000 years. The swing beam is above him; the 26-foot hemlock – cut into 13-foot joists – are in front of him.  Butch and Mary Welch bought the three-acre property that includes the barn last year.  Butch did initial site preparation, and plans to complete the renovations after the crew leaves next week.  Eventually, the couple may sell the barn for conversion into a home.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
